  1. Can't find Windows.old file


    I recently had the BSOD system_thread_exception_not_handled. I couldn't go into safe mode because of the bitlocker. I couldn't reinstall Windows 10 initially because of the bitlocker. I used Gparted to delete all of the partitions, then I was able to successfully do a custom install of Windows. When the computer restarted after installing, there is no windows.old folder. I tried viewing hidden icons, checking to see if I was in a temporary administrator account, but no luck finding it. By removing all of the partitions, did I lose the ability to have a windows.old folder created?


    Thanks.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type
    the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly
    allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Best regards,
